I searched this topic because I had a really bad experience yesterday with Melatonin.I was groggy and wanted to eat junk food all day. I went to McDonald's 2x in one day - for breakfast and lunch! And I didn't make low cal/low fat choices. I ate the way I eat when I'm under stress and haven't had enough sleep. I felt…

I started for 2 days then stopped again. Why? Because I'm lazy? Because I don't care? NO! I just realized its because I haven't been FOCUSING on my weight loss. For me to lose weight and keep it off, requires so much of my time and energy. This is hard work for me! The longer I am consistent, I imagine the easier it will…

meant to reply to you that i'm glad you are OK from Sandy. what a frightening experience it must have been. I admire that you're back to taking care of yourself so soon after that!

thanks all for your words of wisdom - they were really helpful! I got some tools to use and the motivation I was missing. the most impact for me was three months from now, you'll wish you had started now and that is so true :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

a way to copy meals from a previous day to any meal on the current day a way to delete multiple items in a meal entry I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MOST RECENT FOODS LIST...WHEN I LOOK FOR SOMETHING I JUST ADDED, I SEE SOMETHING I ATE MONTHS AGO...I'D LIKE AN ACCURATE LIST OF MY MOST RECENTLY EATEN FOODS. i HAVE A HARD TIME…

Hi All, just joined the group tonight. Lost 14 pounds since I joined MFP since July with about 60 pounds to go until I hit my goal weight. Lately, I haven't lost any weight (for about a month). My goal is to lose 1 pound a week. I need to get back on track and I think this group may help me. I've been following Choose to…

so sorry to hear it...the journey is now taking you through some curvey parts that you must slow down to make it through. Keep us posted on your journey through recovery...:flowerforyou:

i meant electrolytes - ok, going to bed now...

Oh, i forgot i add about 1/2 cup coconut water for the enzymes.:drinker:

broccoli, huh? I'll have to give it a try. I started adding spinach and then kale and now baby carrots...maybe I'll replace the kale with the broccoli...or maybe I should live dangerously and add it to the spinach, kale and carrots! I use kefir instead of yogurt and 1 packet of emergenC - 1000 mg of VC. I call it my power…

belly fat :sad:

Last night I threw 1/4 cup steel cut oats into a jar. I added a 1/4 cup greek honey yogurt and 1/4 cup (maybe 1/2 cup) strawberries that I had sliced up a few days ago. This morning, i took it out of the fridge and tasted it. Yummy! This will be a staple in my diet. I also added a little almond milk to thin it a bit and…

LOL - good answer. I wasn't expecting the go lay on a couch response!

fun money

wow! In one year? wow again!

needed this post...been getting discouraged. My weight loss has slowed down in the last few weeks to about half a pound when I had been losing 1 pound a week pretty consistently. The half a pound was discouraging me until I read this post and that others have had ups and downs with the scale.

I wish!

congratulations! You're an inspiration to me!

I'm losing fat and can't wait until I can feel comfortable naked!!!

wow! Alot of big losers replied to this post. Hope I am successful in joining your ranks. What makes MFP work for me is the interaction with others - the encouragement when I hit tough spots and the acknowledgement when I have small victories - keeps me motivated. Hope I do the same for others. Seeing the big numbers many…

Since I started on MFP and started eating less and changed my diet, I'm usually go once a day or every 2 days. I was worrying about this because it used to be 2x a day or more - every morning, at night before bed and sometimes during the day...now I know I'm not abnormal with the change I'm experiencing.

the pancakes sound yummy! going to try tomorrow. Thanks!

Glad I'm not the only one! :wink:

I did too until I figured out that I could use the stopwatch on my iPhone. Then I had to figure out where to put it so i could see when 20 seconds was up.etc. Congrats on your walking. I will get to adding that - I will! I just can't seem to do both right now.

I took my vit d supplement today - my doctor prescribes it and so its covered by my insurance. I keep hearing about how Vit D is being connected with weigh loss so I'm really motivated to take it every day! Thanks for all the info on this topic.

You guys look like a younger couple with the weight loss! Fantastic!

I like average size men which is what I always dated but I married an overweight guy and it was kind of a turn off after awhile. we had a lot of things go wrong so it probably wasn't just the weight that turned me off. I was skinny then. That's why I won't date while I'm this fat. I'm not attracted to heavy people so I…

LOL - well said!

Thanks for the info...I need to go pick up my Vit D prescription - now I'll make it a priority. Its been about 2 weeks since I ran out.

Are you getting enough sleep? That time of month? Taking a multi-vitamin? Drinking enough water? All those things affect my ability to stay on my plan either negatively or positively. Working at a restaurant with delicious food for FREE has got to be an especially difficult challenge. I guess there are things you can do…
